Stop Chasing Biohacks | The Real Secret to Longevity (Blue Zone Lessons) | Dr. Joanette

Everyone’s chasing biohacks — supplements, cold plunges, red light therapy, and tech devices that promise longer life. But what if I told you the real secret to longevity doesn’t come from a lab—it comes from how you live? I’m Dr. Joanette, your longevity expert and Blue Zone native, and in this video, I’ll show you why the world’s longest-living people don’t rely on biohacks, but instead live in a way that naturally extends both their lifespan and their healthspan.
